Echoes from the Drin

One of the key awareness raising vehicles of the Act4Drin project is the “Echoes from the Drin” short films triplet jointly developed by MIO-ECSDE & KAWKA PRODUCTION.

The core message that the Act4Drin short films seek to bring forward is all about "Living in harmony with the Drin". The Drin River Basin is full of life, housing an exceptional wealth of biodiversity, providing important habitats for many species of fauna and flora, while delivering a steady stream of benefits to its residents. Whether we consciously realize it or not, freshwater ecosystems together with every bit of biodiversity they support and the ecosystem services they provide, are intimately interwoven with our ‘harmonious’ existence and welfare. Therefore, the protection of our natural common heritage cannot be left only to governments, treaties, top-down regulations and other similar approaches. We, as individuals can make the real difference by simply caring, respecting the right of all beings to enjoy this planet and by taking a holistic ‘life cycle’ view on life based on a sustainable management of natural resources.
